FTA WARNS TRANSIT AGENCIES TO MAKE EQUITY A PRIORITY

Last week Peter Rogoff, head of the Federal Transit Administration, issued a friendly and poignant reminder to local transit agencies that are considering fare hikes, service reductions, or both: remember Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and do not make decisions that disproportionately impact people of color. The FTA is offering free resources, trainings, and technical assistance to help transit agencies comply with Title VI.
